The most extreme and intense ski jumping tournament in the world
RAW AIR is a ski jumping tournament where the athletes individual scores make up the total. Each contender will face 10 competitions within the course of 10 days, with a total of 16 counting ski jumps. RAW AIR takes place in four different cities in Norway. NRK is the producer and official broadcaster, and will air all competitions in prime time.
The central characters are the athletes; their battle against raw Norwegian nature, against their own fear and the different slopes’ gravitational forces. All this forms the basis for a spectacular tournament.
